Overlapping patterns in toplevel configure.in

[Andreas Schwab]

The toplevel congfigure.in script contains a case pattern *-*-linux* that
overrules the pattern mips*-*-linux*.  The first pattern only exists in
the gcc repository, not in the src repository.  There are also other linux
cases that are not a superset of the generic *-*-linux* case.  What is the
best way to resolve that?  Perhaps the generic linux pattern should be
moved to a separate case statement.  But there is also a catch-all
pattern at the end that disables libgcj for all not explicitly mentioned
targets unless --enable-libgcj is given.  In other words, it's a big
mess. :-(

Andreas.
